...Seattle last week, 640 leading citizens sat down to feast on mandarin chicken, pineapple chicken, Cantonese beef, steamed rice in lotus leaf, jai choy and other triumphs of Chinese cuisine. Occasion for the feast: New Year's celebration of the Chinese year 4654-the Year of the Monkey. It was also the 40th anniversary of Seattle's China Club, a remarkable example of the American penchant for voluntarily organizing for a high purpose-in this case for Sino-American friendship...

It didn't sound very promising, but the voice insisted that if we came to the 'press-conference,' we would not only get a story, but lots of good Manhattans and a chance to talk to a lot of important people. So we went, to Cobb's Restaurant, 32 Tremont...

In an effort to attract customers, NBC has been working away at the hour for years, while CBS's Ed Sullivan has been dishing it up medium to well done, with viewers taking avidly to his servings. This situation has understandably made NBC officials extremely unhappy; it has caused big executives to fear for their jobs, and even brought NBC's Chairman of the Board Sylvester L. ("Pat") Weaver...
